Mr. T. C. Forguson, of Heaver
Crossing will speak on the "Growing
and Marketing of Potatoes," He has
been on our force only one voar, but in
this short time he has "proven himself
to be one of our strongest Institute
speakers. Few farmers can sum up
more practical experience to their
credit. Mr- Ferguson is intimately
acquainted with the business from the
growing of a few hills in the garden to
the raising of a hundred acre field. He
has travelled in the potato field one
third the distance of the circumference
of the globe. He has dug 50,000 bush
els and sold potatoes to 1 joo people.
He has imported and distributed over
15,000 bushels of seed. The tests that
Mr. Ferguson has conducted have been
very extensive and exact, and has pro
duced regularly in his fields over three
times the average yield of the state.
He has found that one proper cultiva
tion given at the right time adds 30
bushels per acre to the yield, and that
one failure to cultivate at the right time
often ruins the crop. With this prac
tical knowledge gained in the field, Mr.
Ferguson combines the knowledge
gained by visiting all the leadiug potato
growing distiicts from Canada to the
Gulf, studying the soils and methods of
cultivation. He presents the result of
the vast amount of experience in a
practical and entertaining maimer.
This season he marketed his crop at
Go cents per bushel. Mr. Ferguson
will lecture on "Growing and Market
ing Potatoes" at Alliance J nn. 17 and
at Hcmingford Jan. 18, 1905.
Adams Comedians.
G. Faith Adams, for many years the
manager of the Delia Pringlc Opera
Company, and well known to many
Alliance people, will on January 18, 10
and 20th present four plays in the opera
house here. They are "The Little
Minister," "Out of the Fold," "The
Scciet Dispatch." and "The Buffalo
Mystery." Miss Marie Dale, formerly
with one of Frohman's large attractions
apjjjjars as leading.lo.dy, and hcr.jyip
port is strong.
In a communication received from
Mr. Adams, he states that but few
stands will be made between Chicago
and the coast, but that a long engage
ment will be played in San Francisco.
Later, the company will go to Portland,
remaining there during the entire expo
sition. The company is a large one
and receiving some very flattering no
tices from the press of the cities.
Our good people should be sure to
avail themselves of the opportunity to
see all of vthesc attractions, as it is not
often that the smaller cities are favored
by the appearance of such an actress
as Miss Dale. Tickets may be had at
Holsten's.
